Default Should I buy?

This may be a double post, sorry if so.... Please read and help.

I have been looking at the TC and the XB. I am going to buy, (or not, depending on you) this weekend.

I am heavily leaning toward the XB for the following:

I have an 03 Tundra right now, and the 350 mile commute per week is a lot. (XB will save me about $15 per week).

I need the 4 seats in the XB. And the easy in and out.

I think it will be great for short trips with the wife and 2 kids.

I understand the biggest gripes are the cargo space and no armrest, but how about quality? Can I expect the same Toyota Quality? Would you all buy this again? I am looking at a bone stock automatic, is this the right way to go? Are there any items I should add on at time of purchase?

Please reply quickly!

Thanks!

It's really all up to you, I have a XA and love the Xb..if space is what you need I would go with the XB over the TC.. I think you can do so much more with the looks of the XB...and as for the armrest...its not that big of a thing..I still want a polarwhite XB!!!!!!!

I agree it is up to you. The xB doesnt have an armrest but there are ones available that you can buy and install. and you can always make more room in the xB by laying the back seats down. It just comes down to do you wants Better Gas Milage and less Performance then go with the xB. Or do you want Better Performance and Less Gas Milage go with the tC. Hope this helps.

I agree with everyone above ^^^^^ one question they forgot to answer was wether to buy anything from dealer and getting it installed....The answer is....You can find everything the dealer has probably for about 50 to 25 % less than the dealer price.... :D

One big factor about dealer installed accesories is wether you have the cash to buy everything aftermarket (less expensive) later....or wether you want to add all the accesories to your finance amount (that is..if your financing)

Just my 2 cents

Edit:

You also said that you were going to buyt the car this weekend....That might happen if you buy an XB not really sure if the dealer near you has a TC in stock...it might take more than a week before they could get you a TC...Just somenthing to think about.. :D
